Solar power and solar heated floors aren’t the only perks of this sustainably-minded guesthouse in Venice. The backyard features a garden with lounge chairs, a daybed, hammock, and fire pit which are perfect for procrastinating, er, relaxing. But don’t get too comfortable here: Venice’s best restaurants and shops are right outside your door, waiting to be explored.
Guesthouse, Silver Lake
This solar-powered Bauhaus-inspired home in Silver Lake features 12-foot-high ceilings and wrap-around windows with wavy shades, making the open floor plan appear larger than 450 square feet on which he lives. In California fashion (because nobody works here, we laugh, we laugh), the private outdoor patio is as large as the house itself with an equal emphasis on design.
Trendy Loft, Downtown LA
If you fancy living right in the heart of the city, this cool downtown loft is as urban as LA, with Arch Digest-stylish interiors that might make you feel like living in an artist’s studio. The full-service building offers all the perks of a chic hotel, and more: a 24/7 doorman, gym, arcade room and rooftop terrace, as well as a shared outdoor common area with a hot tub and lounge chairs. The loft itself is sleek and hassle-free, and sublime when the blinds are opened to the natural light that enters each morning.
Sunny oasis, Echo Park
Fill up on vitamin D with this bright Echo Park suite designed to soak up all that Californian light. It has a personalized wrap-around sofa and a dining area facing the floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto the aft deck. The private terrace includes the suite’s large dining table, inviting you to spend as much time as possible outdoors.
Creators Retreat, Highland Park
This airy, no-frills space with a clean design scheme is located in one of Los Angeles’ few pedestrianized neighborhoods. York Street with all its cafes and shops is just a 10-minute walk away.
